I have stopped taking alfrorax as I felt so sick with gas and bloating and pains in my stomach. I tried for 3 weeks and gave up. I have stopped taking them about 2 weeks ago. How long does it take for it to leave your system as I still have a lot of gas and some pain. Wouldnt touch it again ?

A friend took nearly two months to get rid of the pain and damage these did - she also vowed never ever again would she touch these

Thanks for the reply Janemtt, Did your friend have to take any supplements or medicine or did the symptoms just stop

I have been taking Alflorex for about three yeas and have never had any problems with side effects. I first started taking it when there was a promotion on the IBS Network and I was sent some to try. At the time I was contacted by Alflorex both by phone and email to ask how I found it. I found them very helpful indeed so it might be worth your contacting them to let them know of your experience.

I always understood that it took quite a few weeks for it to kill off the bad bacteria and that is why there is a lot of pain, I have been taking them for just over 6 weeks now and all the discomfort has gone. When I spoke to them they said for some people it can take up to 2 months depending on how much bad bacteria there is in their system for it to kill it off.
